In the video, Russ from Joe's Gaming and Electronics provides a comprehensive guide on how to replace the battery on a Fitbit Charge 5. The process begins by loosening the screen adhesive using heat set to approximately 200 degrees Celsius. Russ then carefully pries up the screen, revealing the internal components. He uses a plastic pry tool to remove the factory seal and other components, including the battery ribbon and the vibrator. After removing the old battery, he installs the new one with careful finger positioning. The reassembly process involves aligning and plugging in the components, securing the cover with screws, and applying black adhesive (704 glue) to seal the device. The device needs to be clamped and left to dry for 24 hours to ensure proper sealing.
